    to get your wireless working again after a kernel update you will need to re-compile the mad wifi driver again. The instructions and in the ubuntu help documentation if you search for aspire one. You only need to re-compile as the driver is already downloaded so forget the wget instruction and you wont need internet access on the one just on another pc to look the instructions up. Hope this helps. Cant help with the wired prob tho as mine has always worked fine
